im pretty sure the blox ones are just a bit shorter than stock, to pull the bottom of the tire in and dial out some of the negative camber from lowering your car. just a thought to consider. and you can probably fix the sqeaks by pulling the metal sleeve out of the center of the bushings and regreasing it (I used anti-seize last time, seems to have helped a lot.)

well....i guess i take back my previous statements.
my Blox bushings
passenger side shock bushing
driver side shock bushing
dont fret tho. i believe this is only due do the how rough my suspension is. i suppose rubber bushings dont exactly go along with slightly high spring rates. i know my other friends dont have any problems with theirs. i've just recently upgraded to Function7 LCA's with Poly bushings.

oh, the blox ones come with rubber bushings?  nvm. you cant pull the metal out and regrease either.

i figure u could press out and press in new bushings. worth the hassel? maybe not unless u get some poly or spherical bushings.

yeah, but are they the same size as the stock ones? if not, then its going to be harder to find new ones. and if you auto-x, spherical bushings drastically change your class.

I looked pretty hard at the bushings that they installed in my Wicked Tunning LCA's and they are a poly bushing, doesn't look like I could replace them with anything better. I would assume the same with the Blox, also those bushings are not as important as some of the other bushings in the suspension, IMO. I think you will be fine with the Blox bushings, just keep an eye on them.
